Biden’s Hug Sets The Tone For PM Modi’s US Trip

A positive omen for the summit-level bilateral discussion set for next month when Prime Minister Narendra Modi visits Washington, DC, is the camaraderie shown by US President Joe Biden and Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

When President Joe Biden approached the PM, he was seated with other G7 head of states. Pictures of the US president giving the PM a loving hug went viral, sparking hopes for a fruitful bilateral discussion.

According to a poll by the multinational pollster Morning Consult, Modi entered the summit with a 78% approval rating despite having a packed 16-hour agenda that started at 3.30 am IST.

Despite India’s repeated invitations to G7 summits, Modi’s visit to Papua New Guinea is expected to mark a unique instance in which a head of state would receive gun salutes long after sundown.

According to sources, a nation does not traditionally bestow the honour of gun salutes after sundown, but Modi will be granted that as an exception. James Marape, the nation’s prime minister, will personally meet him at the airport.
